Default HELP! I just got my PE 380CC injectors with no o-rings or spacers, suggestions plz

I just got my PE 380cc injectors today and after trying to install them i realized they all are missing gaskets. Also in the PE TT installation manual there is a spacer shown. I'll attach a pic.



I can try and remove the gaskets from the stock injectors but i already broke one gasket (rubber 0-ring) trying to remove them. Are these easily had from a hardware store and are the spacers necessary?

Thanks,
Alex

you will need specific sized spacers...












these are not your run of the mill goto mom n pop hardware store to find, they've been machined to specific measurements (from what i've seen).. and i beleve they are necessary to keep the height of the injectors at a specific distance...

did u contact PE usa to see if they have and extra?

the O ring you can pick up from McMaster-Carr.. those are readily available..

Id contact PE...better safe than sorry. There are different o-rings with different sized thickness. Used to have to put together turbo kits for greddy in the warehouse and the Z o-rings are different than a civics.

I called PE and they told me that the PE 510cc are the ones that need spacers. 380cc are just plug and play. Wierd thing is, he told me the injectors were suppose to be brown?

Hows this for a hookup. Call a Turbonetics dealer. Tell them you need to order part numbers 21210 Qty: 6 and 21211 Qty:6. Those are the spacers and adaptors you need. Turbonetics uses Denso injectors on the Z kit just like the PE kit. Those will fit perfectly. The o rings you will need to order from McMaster Carr. Don't say I never did nothing for you FYI those part numbers and pics are also in the install structs HERE

You don't need those spacers (part C in your pic) for the install on the 380's. They don't fit on the Z. You only need them on the 510's

Turbonetic has some pretty nice instructions compared to vortech.

I have 1 more question but it's about the walbro fuel pump. Do I need to still make a small hole on the bottom of the fuel pump holder and remove the yellow tab if this will be going into a g35 with vortech? I'm asking bc I bought a use one and it didnt come with directions.

If you are referring to the Denso 380s then I'm pretty sure you do. Turbonetics uses Denso 380s just like PE. You need both on the Turbonetics kit for sure.

You don't HAVE to modify the surge tank no. But at the least you need to modify the FPR to keep decent fuel pressure at idle..

Well i already threw the injectors in without the spacers and with the stock o-rings and once everything was bolted down they seem to form a perfect seal. I don't see how there could be any problems with they way they seated so well into their holes.

If all goes well i may be driving my car this afternoon.

Cheston: I have no idea what the cost is on those. I'll try to find out and let you know. I don't think they cost much. Turbonetics machines them in house.

I had the PE 380's in my car. You do not need the spacers. The blue ones at the top look just like my 380's and I didn't need them on my 03 track model.
